  3. GANTT Chart

  4. Project Budget

  5. Corrected Bill Of Materials

  6. Board 1 Construction

  7. Initial Board 1 Troubleshooting • No Success with Tx or Rx • High-Pitched Noise and a Smoking Ferrite Bead…Good? (We’re Thinking No) • Short Discovered Between Power Supply and Ground (Not from Layout) • Power Supply Questions

  8. Board 1 Construction – Take 2 • The Three’s Tried-and-True Strategy: Start Over • Results: Nothing Breaks During Testing!!!!!

  9. Transmitter Testing • Left and Right Inputs to VCSEL • Signals Want to Be Eyes… Not Quite There • VCSEL Not Lasing

  10. Receiver Testing • ROSA Output is Desirable Eye • No Output From Limiting Amplifier • Limiting Amplifier Extremely Hot at First

  11. Troubleshooting Conclusions • Disastrous First Attempt at Board 1 • No Shorts in Current Board • Problem Could be a Design Issue or a Component Problem • Possible Theory for Receiver: Maxim Chip Overheated and is Toast?

  12. Finish Midterm Report Continue Troubleshooting Board 1 Purchase Rabbit’s Foot Avoid Ladders and Black Cats Pray Future Work
